Michela celebrated her First Holy Communion this month, and came to see us for a special cake. We saw a photo of Michela’s beautiful gown – all white with white lace detailing on the bodice. We created a cake for her that incorporated the lace from her dress, but we used pink for the lace […]

Daniela came in for an appointment to discuss options for her bridal shower cake, armed with a few photos of cakes she liked and a colour theme: purple. Daniela really liked the idea of the top tier to resemble a dress, so we designed the cake with this idea in mind. We asked to see a […]

Sharon’s husband called us well ahead of time to place his order for his wife’s milestone birthday.

He mentioned that they began […]

Mommy-to-be Zainab ordered her baby shower cake with a very specific design in mind. She brought us a photo and asked us to replicate the design. No problem, we told her.

This Toronto Maple Leafs jersey cake we made for a fan that admitted she “bleeds blue.” We started with a rectangle and filled it with alternating layers of our vanilla and chocolate Italian buttercream. All of the decor was done in fondant, including the sleeves. The cake was perfect both for the fan’s birthday party […]
